Technical Abstract

A communication device includes a wireless communication unit, a memory and a processor. The wireless communication unit is configured to perform wireless communication with an information display device. The processor is configured to perform operations including receiving first work data including first setting data from the information display device having the first work data by the wireless communication unit; and registering the first work data as storage data in a case where the memory stores second work data including second setting data and in a case where the first setting data and the second setting data are different from each other.

Patent Claims
9 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A communication device comprising: a wireless communication unit that is configured to perform wireless communication with at least one information display device; a memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform operations including: receiving, via the wireless communication unit, first setting data from one of the at least one information display device having first work data which includes the first setting data; determining whether the received first setting data and second setting data which is stored in the memory of the communication device are the same as each other; and in a case in which it is determined that the first setting data and the second setting data are not the same as each other, receiving the first work data from said one of the at least one information display device and registering the received first work data as storage data; wherein: the first work data comprises the first setting data and input data input by a user's operations on said one of the at least one information display device, the first setting data comprises settings for processing performed by said one of the at least one information display device, and the second setting data is included in second work data which is stored in the memory of the communication device and is transmitted from any one of the at least one information display device.

2

2. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein: the processor is configured to further perform operations including: (i) in the case in which it is determined that the first setting data and the second setting data are not the same as each other, transmitting the second work data to said one of the at least one information display device after the first work data registered as the storage data is stored; and (ii) in a case in which it is determined that the first setting data and the second setting data are the same as each other, transmitting the second work data to said one of the at least one information display device, without registering the storage data.

3

3. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the first setting data includes setting data on any one mode of a calculation mode, an angle mode and a rounding mode, and the second setting data includes setting data on any one mode of the calculation mode, the angle mode and the rounding mode.

4

4. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein: the processor is configured to perform operations including: in the receiving of the first work data, receiving identification information of said one of the at least one information display device and the first work data from said one of the at least one information display device; and in the registering of the first work data as storage data, registering the first work data as storage data in association with the received identification information of said one of the at least one information display device.

5

5. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein: the processor is configured to perform operations including: transmitting, via the wireless communication unit, the storage data to any one of the at least one information display device.

6

6. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein: the wireless communication unit includes a near field communication unit.

7

7. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein: the processor is configured to perform operations including: when receiving, via the wireless communication unit, the first work data including the first setting data and operation correspondence data based on a display deleting operation on said one of the at least one information display device, from said one of the at least one information display device having the first work data, registering the first work data as storage data in the memory, regardless of whether the first setting data and the second setting data are different from each other.

8

8. A communication method of a communication device including a memory and a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with at least one information display device, the communication method comprising: receiving, via the wireless communication unit, first setting data from one of the at least one information display device having first work data which includes the first setting data; determining whether the received first setting data and second setting data which is stored in the memory of the communication device are the same as each other; in a case in which it is determined that the first setting data and the second setting data are not the same as each other, receiving the first work data from said one of the at least one information display device and registering the received first work data as storage data; wherein: the first work data comprises the first setting data and input data input by a user's operations on said one of the at least one information display device, the first setting data comprises settings for processing performed by said one of the at least one information display device, and the second setting data is included in second work data which is stored in the memory of the communication device and is transmitted from any one of the at least one information display device.

9

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer of a communication device including a memory and a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with at least one information display device, the program being executable by the computer to control the computer to perform operations comprising: receiving, via the wireless communication unit, first setting data from one of the at least one information display device having the first work data which includes the first setting data; determining whether the received first setting data and second setting data which is stored in the memory of the communication device are the same as each other; in a case in which it is determined that the first setting data and the second setting data are not the same as each other, receiving the first work data from said one of the at least one information display device and registering the received first work data as storage data; wherein: the first work data comprises the first setting data and input data input by a user's operations on said one of the at least one information display device, the first setting data comprises settings for processing performed by said one of the at least one information display device, and the second setting data is included in second work data which is stored in the memory of the communication device and is transmitted from any one of the at least one information display device.
